HOW || Actionspam

The Knights fly into the port city of Cape Town in the height of summer, which luckily for them is actually a comfortable Mediterranean climate. They have come in search of Le Chien de l’Onyx to return it to it's former (and rightful) owner, the elf mage Nieulor -- it had been stolen from him in eighteenth century France and once Nieulor was freed from the Bastille, he had tracked its whereabouts across the globe trying to retrieve it. Finally, he has found it in Cape Town and the Knights have been asked to meet him for further information at the Blanched Escargot, a hole in the wall French restaurant on the waterfront.

[ lastrode keeps booking it and indra gets up, starting to run after him but realizing that he's going to get too far, stops halfway, stamping in irritation.

shawn, however, turns up the briefcase :D

nieulor speaks up to the dog abruptly, addressing it in elvish, and the dog - already slowed - begins to come to a halt, whining in slow motion. nieulor lets out a breath of relief.

"It's alright now, I believe. He knows who I am." ]

[ thea wipes her katana off and slides it away, looking between nieulor and the dog. ]

Good dog, now? I have half a granola bar if he needs a treat.

[pwnspatrickjane]

Got it!

[He pulls the briefcase out of the car and brings it back to the rest of the group, handing it off to Nieulor with a nod.]

I believe this belongs to you.

[bloodrager]

[ "I think he deserves a treat after all he's been through," he says, taking the briefcase with a nod. "Thank you. I'm sorry that you all had to deal with all this, but I owe you more than you can imagine." ]

[withasouvenir]

Just doin' our jobs.

[ that's what they're supposed to say, but she's fairly distracted by crouching down to let the dog sniff her hand so she can break her granola bar into chunks and let him gobble it up.

she apologizes for threatening the dog in dog baby talk. he is a very good boy, yes he is. ]

[pwnspatrickjane]

If there's anything else we can do, you know where to find us.

[bloodrager]

[ he nods again as the dog licks thea's hand tentatively.

"I owe you a very great debt. I intend to keep my head down for a bit, but if the time comes where this is something I could do in kind for you, I will leave you this way to contact me." with that, he draws loose a small silver whistle. "Simply blow a single note." ]

[withasouvenir]

[ thea melts into a puddle of coos. WHO IS THE BEST BoY??? she's going to pet his face off. ]

This is thanks enough, I promise. Shawn get in on this action. [ pet pet pet ]

[pwnspatrickjane]

[Shawn will lean forward to take that whistle though because it's important. You never know when you're going to need some magical help. And you should never turn down magical summoning things from cool NPCs, THAT'S JUST HOW VIDEO GAMES WORK.

And then he will jump in on the dog love because ...]

Who is a good boy? You are. You are the best boy.

[bloodrager]

[ and we will do a slow fade out on them loving on this dog that is no longer murderous, having accomplished their goal and made a new npc ally for the knights... ]
